One thing I never understood quite well, and I have asked and no one ever gave me a straight answer...
For my particular situation, in which I am going to play in a band with the following instruments acoustic guitar bass (either bass acoustic guitar or eletric bass) silver flute recorder or clarinet or tinwhistle (one of them, since it's the same player!) violin (probably tuned in just/perfect fifths) voice (percussion) and provided I stick to regular HG tunes in G major, G minor (both with a D trompette), C major and C minor (both with a C trompette - I have a capo on my trompette for that), and maybe D and D minor (disengaging the G and g chanterelles, engaging the D chanterelle (3rd chanterelle) and playing with a D trompette and raising a drone to D) Can I tune my HG to just temperment and still play this standard HG tunes with my mates? Remember, the two other main melodic instruments - the violin (in perfect fifths) and the flute - are pretty fluid in intonation, but the guitar and the bass aren't that much because of the frets... Will we sound better than if I just give up and accept the imperfection of equal temperment? I like Graham's article a lot and I intend to experiment just temperment on myself, but I want to know if I will sound any better in the band using these adjustments.
